A-38 2. 3.170—ASSOCIATION OF OUT -OF-STATE COUNSEL (PRO HAC VICE) Amended out of cycle to increase the pro hac vice application fee. ACTION TAKEN Amendment of the rule was preliminarily recommended by consensus at the UTCR Committee’s fall meeting on October 24, 2025. The rule was then amended out of cycle by SCO 25-054, effective January 1, 2026. EXPLANATION This proposal was submitted by Myah Kehoe, President of OSB, on behalf of the OSB Board of Governors. It amends UTCR 3.170(6) to increase the pro hac vice application fee from $500 to $750 dollars, effective January 1, 2026. At the fall 2025 meeting, the proponent provided testimony explaining the need for the fee increase as follows. The pro hac vice application fee has not been increased since July 1, 2014, when it was raised to $500. Increasing the fee to $750 reflects inflationary increases and aligns the fee with the current administrative costs associated with processing pro hac vice applications. According to Consumer Price…

A-20 4. 18.010—DEFINITION Adopted a definition of “eviction action” for purposes of proposed new rules UTCR 18.020 to 18.040. See related items A.5–A.7. ACTION TAKEN No motion was made to change the committee’s preliminary recommendation of approval. Accordingly, by committee convention, the October 24, 2025, preliminary recommendation became the committee’s final recommendation of approval. EXPLANATION Background. These new rules, UTCR 18.010 to 18.040, were proposed by Danielle Ramos, Legal Policy Advisor for OJD’s Civil and Criminal Programs Division, to align court processes with Oregon law. Under ORS 105.164, OJD must annually set aside judgments and seal court records in forcible entry and detainer (FED) cases that meet statutory criteria. This law, effective in 2023, applies retroactively to judgments entered on or after January 1, 2014. Since 2023, OJD has worked to develop a centralized, automated process to identify eligible FED cases. Progress has been delayed because many F…
